This should be changed back. I am, in no way, a proponent of the klan, or or slavery..however, the simple fact of the matter is that the powers that be, bestowed an honor upon the man. Whether or not the person who edited this out believes Pettis DESERVED the honor or not, is entirely irrelevant. What matters, is what is factual, and what is historically accurate. This kind of activist editing, that attempts to rewrite history, is unacceptable, and ultimately diminishes the credibility of Wikipedia....there's a reason educators don't allow Wikipedia to be used for research purposes.

I respectfully disagree. (I was the one who edited the page and it was logged to my IP Address. I just created an account.) My edit was only for tone. It does not rewrite history, but it does reflect current, and I would argue correct, interpretation of Edmund Pettus and his actions and how they should be interpreted by history. If and when the bridge is officially renamed, I will be here to edit the page again. BenTheTipsyBear (talk) 22:47, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
